The funeral service for Pat McAllister of Moline
will be at 10:30am on Friday
at HOWARD United Methodist Church


My apologies to those who read this earlier, the correct time is 10:30 am and not 10am as this previously read...

[Wilma]

You are forgiven and I must commend you for your prompt post of something so many people wanted to know.

[Bonnie M.]

Is Pat the one who wrote the Moline News for the Paper?  I didn't know she had passed away.  It seems like I'd just read her notes!

[Wilma]

Yes, Pat wrote the Moline news. 

[Bonnie M.]

That is certainly sad news.  I would read about her "bouts" will an illness, but I never did know what the illness was. 

[Mom70x7]

Pat had heart problems.

Visitation will be an hour before the service on Friday and
from 5-8 pm Thursday, at the Howard UMC.

[Ole Granny]

Our love and prayers go out to Pat's family.  She will be missed.
